Regarding my first impressions above:
I was (also) wrong about the "having to swipe to key pad" part. I've edited the post accordingly. If I find a thumb position where the finger print works all the time, it'd be pretty usable, even with having to press the button.

Regarding the Gallery:
While the multiple ways to exit an Image view are a bit irritating at first and it's not the most beautiful thing I've ever seen, I agree it's really much, much better than the abhorrent tap-to-split view and a lot less confusing for new users.

I did, and it is. Before I posted I mounted the SD card in my PC and verified the loss. ./Pictures and ./Video on the SD card are spectacularly empty. They also weren't visible from a file manager on the phone.

I said 'it seems' to allow for my being mistaken, not for my not bothering to check. I recovered a lot of deleted images overnight, but can't check them until I get home.

At least take the time to check before calling me an idiot

I made a link to my mounts, because neither File Manager nor ownKeepass saw the SD card mounted:
Does not directly help with the camera, though. But I guess you could link the Pictures directory to the card, if it does not change it's mount point again.
Edit: That won't bring back lost files, obviously

Something nice that I noticed:

Previously when listening to music with Sailfish, and an e-mail alert enters, or SMS or any system sound, the music would be muted while the sound was playing. Now the music continues to play, but it's volume is lowered during the system sound.

This was driving me insane. Now it's pretty nice.

I didn't say anything of the sort, although it is still literally impossible that this update removed any of your pictures or videos - the update process does not touch user files at all, nor does it touch the SD card. It must have happened some other way.

Edit: at least one other person has apparently experienced the same problem: https://together.jolla.com/question/...r-of-pictures/

I got exactly oposite, galery just doubled all my photos, was surprised to see nearly 10 000 pictures did the tracker database refresh and got back to real 4984 photos

I didn't intend to suggest that you did, that's why there's a smiley at the end. You did suggest that I made my statements without checking their accuracy, I simply intended to suggest you apply the same standard to your own comments. My humour, such as it is, falling on deaf ears as so often the case

I didn't intend to suggest it was done by the update process either. It was almost certainly done by some action or interaction in the camera or gallery app. The camera app claimed to be using the SD card, but no new pictures were appearing in the gallery, and the camera app refused to take more than one picture unless closed and restarted.
File Manager showed files on the SD card, but as I said, Pictures and Video folders empty. I removed the SD card and verified on PC, then set a job to recover deleted files, which was looking to be fairly successful when I left it at 2am.

Camera operates normally when storing to internal memory, as expected.

Enough said. I'll carry on using my MX4 Ubuntu phone as workshop camera. Oddly it's one of only two apps on that device which isn't completely hateful.

I just added an edit to my previous post, someone else has apparently had the same problem: https://together.jolla.com/question/...r-of-pictures/
